Radioisotope
A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive
isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it
unstable. This excess energy can be used in one of three ways: emitted
from the nucleus as gamma radiation; transferred to one of its
electrons to release it as a conversion electron; or used to create
and emit a new particle (alpha particle or beta particle) from the
nucleus. During those processes, the radionuclide is said to undergo
radioactive decay.[1] These emissions are considered ionizing
radiation because they are powerful enough to liberate an electron
from another atom. The radioactive decay can produce a stable nuclide
or will sometimes produce a new unstable radionuclide which may
undergo further decay

Estancia
An estancia (American Spanish: [esˈtansja]) or estância (Brazilian
Portuguese: [iʃˈtɐ̃sjɐ]) is a Spanish and Brazilian
Portuguese term describing private landholdings. In some areas, they
were large rural complexes with similarities to what in the United
States is called a ranch. They are large farms which are spread over
extensive areas, often 10,000 ha. Estancias in the southern South
American grasslands, the pampas, have historically been estates used
to raise livestock (cattle or sheep).Contents1 History1.1 California mission estancias2 See also

Precipitation
In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of
atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity.[2] The main forms of
precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.
PrecipitationPrecipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes
saturated with water vapor, so that the water condenses and
"precipitates". Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but
suspensions, because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to
precipitate. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air
becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air.
PrecipitationPrecipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with
other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud

NationalizationNationalizationNationalization is the process of transforming private assets into
public assets by bringing them under the public ownership of a
national government or state.[1]
NationalizationNationalization usually refers to
private assets or assets owned by lower levels of government, such
municipalities, being transferred to the state. The opposites of
nationalization are privatization and demutualization. When previously
nationalized assets are privatized and subsequently returned to public
ownership by a later government, they are said to have undergone
renationalization or renationalisation. Industries that are usually
subject to nationalization include transport, communications, energy,
banking and natural resources.
NationalizationNationalization may occur with or without compensation to the former
owners

Bedroom Community
A commuter town is a town whose residents normally work elsewhere but
in which they live, eat and sleep. The name also suggests that these
communities have little commercial or industrial activity beyond a
small amount of locally-oriented retail business.
A commuter town may also be known as an "exurb" (short for
"extra-urban"), "bedroom community" (Canada and northeastern U.S.
usage), "bedroom town", "bedroom suburb" (U.S. usage), "dormitory
town", "dormitory suburb" or less commonly a "dormitory village"
(British English/Commonwealth/Ireland).[citation needed] In Japan, it
may also be referred to with the wasei-eigo coinage "bed town"
(ベッドタウン, beddotaun).[1]Contents1 Distinction between suburbs and commuter towns
